Biblical Christianity and Islam: Plural Monotheism vs Monolithic Monotheism (Final)

(Continued from last week…)
“Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” John 17:3
I am increasingly impressed with the centrality of the triune nature of God. It is foundational to almost everything. Because of it we understand why the universe is replete with [...]

Biblical Christianity and Islam: Plural Monotheism versus Monolithic Monotheism (Part 7)

(Continued from last week…)
After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. John 17:1-2
You heard it on the playground [...]

Biblical Christianity and Islam: Plural Monotheism versus Monolithic Monotheism (Part 6)

(Continued from last week…)
If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
2 Timothy 2:13 (NAS)
One of the most marvelous aspects of God is that He cannot deny Himself. That means: what He says and what He does must always be in accordance with His nature. This fascinates me and often forms the [...]

Biblical Christianity and Islam: Plural Monotheism versus Monolithic Monotheism (Part 5)

(Continued from last week…)
“…go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”
Jesus, Matthew 28:19
The New Testament brings to us an explosion of revelation about God and His nature. For our purposes, that explosion includes pulling back the veil on the [...]

Biblical Christianity and Islam: Plural Monotheism versus Monolithic Monotheism (Part 4)

(Continued from last week…)
In the progressive revelation of Scripture, we are given a number of hints that the Creator’s nature is socially complex.
Several of those hints involve Divine personal manifestations who are addressed as “God” and yet they are distinguished from another person who is also called “God”. If we did not have the [...]

Biblical Christianity and Islam: Plural Monotheism versus Monolithic Monotheism (Part 3)

(Continued from last Thursday…)
When we look at what God has made, we find it brimming with things that are in relationship; a cosmos filled with a plethora of systems: parts and pieces that are relating to each other for a greater purpose.
If the “heavens declare the glory of God”, then one would naturally assume that [...]

Biblical Christianity and Islam: Plural Monotheism versus Monolithic Monotheism (Part 2)

(Continued from last Thursday…)
Rom 1:20 “…since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”
This is a remarkable verse. When God created the cosmos, it was stamped with His image. In fact, it was SO [...]

Biblical Christianity and Islam: Plural Monotheism versus Monolithic Monotheism

“Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.” Psalm 145:3
Much of our understanding of who God is did not arrive immediately with His first revelations to us. The whole of the Bible is a continual unfolding, a progression of revelations that opens the lens a little more or [...]

Islam—A Worldview of Difference, Part 2

Thank you for your prayers. My surgery went well.
It is the post-op that I am wrestling with. I cannot remember the last time pain brought tears to my eyes, but last night brought them both. It is so nice to have a loving wife brush them away.
Although she was reluctant, I finally talked [...]

Islam—A Worldview of Difference, Part 1

Fifteen years ago, when I was working at the White House, I commuted with a very close friend who worked at a think tank in Washington D.C. After the fall of the Soviet Union, our conversations in the car often turned toward what would constitute the next major world threat. My friend, who is [...]
